    x86: Add COND_VZEROUPPER that can replace vzeroupper if no `ret`
    
    The RTM vzeroupper mitigation has no way of replacing inline
    vzeroupper not before a return.
    
    This can be useful when hoisting a vzeroupper to save code size
    for example:
    
    ```
    L(foo):
            cmpl    %eax, %edx
            jz      L(bar)
            tzcntl  %eax, %eax
            addq    %rdi, %rax
            VZEROUPPER_RETURN
    
    L(bar):
            xorl    %eax, %eax
            VZEROUPPER_RETURN
    ```
    
    Can become:
    
    ```
    L(foo):
            COND_VZEROUPPER
            cmpl    %eax, %edx
            jz      L(bar)
            tzcntl  %eax, %eax
            addq    %rdi, %rax
            ret
    
    L(bar):
            xorl    %eax, %eax
            ret
    ```
    
    This code does not change any existing functionality.
    
    There is no difference in the objdump of libc.so before and after this
    patch.
